To attempt a criticism where all did
well would place the writer at loss for
words and convey an erroneous idea to all
who read therefore 1t will suthce to point
out the special merits of each performer.
Miss Della Deegan, young lady Just
entered upon her teens, read smoothly,
distiCtly and with good infection. Miss
Brent recitcd her beautiful poem with
much animation, while Miss Forbes read
with her usual clear, diStict articulation
and full voice so well adapted TO the spa
cious hall
The last named yOung lady showed a de-
cided improvement i'll her vocal music.
"Deep in the Mine" is q descriptive ballad,
very dramatic in style, and was sung by
Miss Forbes with considerable spirit. Miss
Marie Guteman improves steadily and her
serenade was very pleasing. The full,
mellow tones OF her voice are gradually
gaining the ascendency, and were dis
played to advantage in this charming selec-
ton, OF which she evinCes fair apprecia-
ton.
The third ballad of the programme was
sung in voice as different from those
already noticed as was the song from the
preceding ones. Miss Maser's voice is
pure and clear as 4 bell, with occasionally
slight vein of sadness, and she sang
MoOre's touching ballad with much taste.
The Vocalist from marie Stuart" is an
exceedingly graceful melody, entirely
without words, and its sad strains seem to
he q plaintive wall from the heart of the
captive Queen, while here and there the
rapid execution and piercingly high tones
give the effect of more passionate sorrow.
Miss Humes sang beautifully, and her
pure soprano voice found no difficulty in
reaching the highest tones
The first instrumental solo, although
simple, WIS warmly received. Miss Hale
PLAYED with ease and taste. Her shading
and phraSing were good and the whole
performance was most creditahle. The
three remaining numbers were given by
the trio OF graduates and of that name the
young ladies proved themselves truly de-
serving. Each has her peculiarities of
style while all are excellent in technique
and Interpretation. Miss Humes played
Lists RhapSOdie No. =, with all the
brilliancy and deliCacy Of execution re-
quired by the great musicians magnificent
Instrumentation.
Miss Quinn rendered Schuhcrt'S Sonata
with the greatest delicacy and finish and
gave an infinite tenderness to the sOrrOwful
tones of the wanderer which prevailed the
| - in
creased powers of execution were notably
shown in Lists Transcription. The
boldness and warmeth of her style are
charming, while grace seems To wait upon
her fingers.
The last tones were still lingering in the
ear when the roll of honor was called and
the young ladies advanced to receive from
the Bishops hand the little card of excel
lence, which promised well for further
hOnOrs in June.
The following young ladies were the for
tunate recipients:-Miss Mai Forbes, Miss
Lille G.. POtvin, Miss Jennie Quinn, Miss
Annie Mccullough, Miss Title Reilly, Miss
Ella Brennan, Miss Clara Hale, Miss
frankie Handlan, Miss Mena McGraw,
Miss Nellie Cannon, Miss Edith Scott, Miss
Fannie Stillwagen, Miss Mamie Kennedy,
Miss Mamie Carroll, Miss Sadie Robinson,
Miss Helen Cornwell, Miss Laura BrOus-
sard, Miss Marie Dent, Miss Ruth Rich

Robinson, Miss Julia Robinson, Miss
Minnie Marvin, Miss Marie Guteman, Miss
Grace Nicely, Miss Julia Nicely, Mis-, kath-
arine Stephens, Miss Jennie Duncan, Miss
Mamie Lodick, Miss Laura Steers and Miss
Kate Steers
After comforting these honors the Ri
Rev. J. J. Kahn addressed the pupils in a
genial, encouraging manner, expressing
his pleasure in their success and his hopes
for their future, and resumed his seat amid
a round OF hearty applause. The evening
had been so delightful that the lapse of
time was unnOticed, and the writer could
not better express the surprise experienced
upon inquiring for the time than in the
words of the well knowD adage, 'Tempus
fugit.'
